Poverty.com - Hunger and World Poverty German philosophy German philosophy, here taken to mean either (1) philosophy in the German language or (2) philosophy by Germans, has been extremely diverse, and central to both the analytic and continental traditions in philosophy for centuries, from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz through Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein to contemporary philosophers. Søren Kierkegaard (a Danish philosopher) is frequently included in surveys of German (or Germanic) philosophy due to his extensive engagement with German thinkers.[1][2][3][4] 17th century[edit] Leibniz[edit] Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) was both a philosopher and a mathematician who wrote primarily in Latin and French. Leibniz is noted for his optimism - his Théodicée[5] tries to justify the apparent imperfections of the world by claiming that it is optimal among all possible worlds. 18th century[edit] Wolff[edit] Kant[edit] 19th century[edit]

Examining "X-Men" as a Civil Rights Allegory - Volume 1: Professor X as MLK - RaceBaitr By Quentin Lucas “I feel sorry for people who only know comic books through movies,[i]” said the 2015 MacArthur “Genius Grant” winner, National Correspondent for The Atlantic, and writer for Marvel Comics’ Black Panther series, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Coates spoke candidly about comic books with Abraham Riesman during an interview for Vulture. Along with discussing both their inspirational and escapist properties, Coates venerated the intelligent conversations and emotional satisfaction cocooned within them. And, perhaps most fervently, he championed the inimitability of the medium. “X-Men [movies] will always disappoint me. Doubling as a challenging reality for this essay — and slippery conundrum — is the truth that I don’t love comic books. And though I haven’t invested the number of years which might yield a love for comic books, I think I may nonetheless believe in them — maybe. The Story behind the X-Men Story “It was too close. The Story behind American Stories “What?

United States Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence: United for Human Rights United States Declaration of Independence (1776) In 1776, Thomas Jefferson penned the American Declaration of Independence. On July 4, 1776, the United States Congress approved the Declaration of Independence. Its primary author, Thomas Jefferson, wrote the Declaration as a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, and as a statement announcing that the thirteen American Colonies were no longer a part of the British Empire. Philosophically, the Declaration stressed two themes: individual rights and the right of revolution. The Constitution of the United States of America (1787) and Bill of Rights (1791) The Bill of Rights of the US Constitution protects basic freedoms of United States citizens. The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the freedom of assembly and the freedom to petition.

Aesthetics Branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of art, beauty, and taste Aesthetics studies natural and artificial sources of experiences and how people form a judgement about those sources of experience. It considers what happens in our minds when we engage with objects or environments such as viewing visual art, listening to music, reading poetry, experiencing a play, watching a fashion show, movie, sports or even exploring various aspects of nature. The philosophy of art specifically studies how artists imagine, create, and perform works of art, as well as how people use, enjoy, and criticize art. Aesthetics considers why people like some works of art and not others, as well as how art can affect moods or even our beliefs.[5] Both aesthetics and the philosophy of art try to find answers to what exactly is art, artwork, or what makes good art. Etymology[edit] The term was introduced into the English language by Thomas Carlyle in his Life of Friedrich Schiller (1825).[10] Beauty[edit]

This edible water blob could replace plastic bottles What's one solution to the growing problem of plastic water bottle waste? A trio of Spanish design students think they have the answer, and it involves creating a "water bottle" that you can eat, reports Co.Exist. Designers Rodrigo García González, Guillaume Couche and Pierre Paslier call their creation "Ooho," a gelatinous blob that is actually a membrane that encapsulates water like a bladder. When you're thirsty, just puncture the membrane and drink. Or, if you also have an appetite, just pop a bite-sized Ooho in your mouth and chomp down for a burst of hydration. The Ooho globule is formed through a process called "spherification," a methodology first pioneered in 1946 and still utilized by some chefs in modern cuisine. "Anyone can make them in their kitchen, modifying and innovating the recipe," said co-designer García. Similar products have already made it to the market; an edible food delivery system called WikiPearl is available at select Whole Foods markets. Related on MNN:

Arthur Schopenhauer German philosopher (1788–1860) Life[edit] Early life[edit] In 1797, Arthur was sent to Le Havre to live with the family of his father's business associate, Grégoire de Blésimaire. In 1803, he accompanied his parents on a European tour of Holland, Britain, France, Switzerland, Austria and Prussia. Heinrich offered Arthur a choice: he could stay at home and start preparations for university, or he could travel with them and continue his merchant education. In 1805, Heinrich drowned in a canal near their home in Hamburg. Arthur showed similar moodiness during his youth and often acknowledged that he inherited it from his father. Arthur spent two years as a merchant in honor of his dead father. His mother moved away, with her daughter Adele, to Weimar—then the centre of German literature—to enjoy social life among writers and artists. Arthur moved to Hamburg to live with his friend Jean Anthime, who was also studying to become a merchant. Education[edit] Early work[edit] Later life[edit]

Stan Lee on the X-Men and 1960s Marvel Comics: Lost Interview In April of 2014, I called Stan Lee to talk about the creation of the X-Men. Quotes from the interview appeared here, but the full Q&A has never been published. The conversation shows how sharp and witty Lee was at age 91, and gives some insight on how he saw his work. (The late artist Jack Kirby, credited as the X-Men’s co-creator, asserted that he, and not Lee, actually came up the characters on his own. In retrospect, I should have pressed Lee harder on that issue.) Here, for the first time, is the transcript of our conversation: Rolling Stone: How are you this morning, Stan? Brutally, I promise. So, I’ve read many interviews where you talk about the beginning of X-Men. It was a good month for you.I would say. Ideas were coming out kind of astonishing speed at that point. Then, once I figured out what powers they’d have, I had to figure, how did they get their powers? So I brought the idea to my publisher… To Martin Goodman? Just an hour ago, I re-read X-Men No. 1. I have that book.

Rent or Buy? The Math Is Changing Photo Billy Gasparino and Jenna Dillon-Gasparino were savvy enough to wait out the housing boom of a decade ago as renters. Not until 2010, well into the bust, did they buy a house in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, less than a mile from the beach, for $810,000. Only four years later, the couple see new signs of excess in the housing market and have decided to go back to renting. They are close to a deal to sell their house – for $1.35 million, a cool 67 percent gain. “It just seems like the housing market came back so strongly, so fast, that maybe there’s a little bit of a bubble there,” said Mr. Their decision reflects a new reality in many of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. Continue reading the main story The Times also created an online calculator that enables prospective buyers and renters to analyze their own decision. “A lot of these coastal markets look overvalued compared to rents,” said Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

Immanuel Kant Immanuel Kant (/kænt/;[1] German: [ɪˈmaːnu̯eːl kant]; 22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher who is widely considered to be a central figure of modern philosophy. He argued that fundamental concepts structure human experience, and that reason is the source of morality. His thought continues to have a major influence in contemporary thought, especially the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics.[2] Kant's major work, the Critique of Pure Reason (Kritik der reinen Vernunft, 1781),[3] aimed to explain the relationship between reason and human experience. Kant argued that our experiences are structured by necessary features of our minds. Kant aimed to resolve disputes between empirical and rationalist approaches. Biography[edit] Immanuel Kant was born in 1724 in Königsberg, Prussia (since 1946 the city of Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia). Young Kant was a solid, albeit unspectacular, student.

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" The Measure of a Man (TV Episode 1989) - Quotes Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz German mathematician and philosopher (1646–1716) Gottfried Wilhelm (von)[a] Leibniz[b] (1 July 1646 [O.S. 21 June] – 14 November 1716) was a German polymath active as a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat. Leibniz is also called, "The Last Universal Genius" due to his knowledge and skills in different fields and because such people became less common during the Industrial Revolution and spread of specialized labor after his lifetime.[17] He is a prominent figure in both the history of philosophy and the history of mathematics. As a philosopher, he was a leading representative of 17th-century rationalism and idealism. In the 20th century, Leibniz's notions of the law of continuity and transcendental law of homogeneity found a consistent mathematical formulation by means of non-standard analysis. Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Gottfried Leibniz was born on July 1, 1646, toward the end of the Thirty Years' War, in Leipzig, Saxony, to Friedrich Leibniz and Catharina Schmuck.
